Ok, I thought that these where images created from the CD-ROM's (and hence perhaps from a time after Emax and would be in a E4-compatible format).
In case like that, you simply can't use them, period. They aren't public domain, Emu still posses the rights and that's that. They are theirs, they aren't yours.
I have never claimed them to be mine! I would never use these in a way that would benefit me economically. My only motivation is to try to do my bit in the preservation of the great legacy of E-MU (a legacy Creative hasn't shown too much interest in), by resurrecting their gear and sounds. And as soon as I have the chance, play them to my friends, kids and everyone else passing by. And if I ever would use these comercially - I will make sure to send Creative a check for them to use in developing their new line of Sound Blasters :)
Sorry if I have upset anyone - not my intention.. (not entirely..)

Anyone knows what format the images on the folder on box.com are in?
There's really no such thing as a "disk image file format" - all images are simply raw representations of what exists on a disk. However, there are many different file systems ON the image. For Emu, coincidentally the SCSI disk file systems since Emax are just about the same. For E3 on they are the same.
So really, all you are trying to do with larger images (non-floppy) is to burn them directly to the CD without any consideration of the contents.
And yes, probably pirated (?), but good luck trying to find many of these titles the legit way? (second hand cd's on Ebay..?) Many titles are obsolete.

Will try again with Chicken Free and if I get to understand it yes the paid version is probably the way to go.
